Jet set stylist Rachel loves her job and her life. But the good times come to a halt when Rachel learns that her best client has been sleeping with her boyfriend--a perk that's definitely not included in her services! Impulsively, Rachel gets her revenge--thanks to a hideous designer mashup of an awards show ensemble--but her satisfaction comes at too high a cost. Blackballed from the glamorous life forever, she heads home to the last place she ever thought she'd return, her snowy, tiny, totally UNsophisticated Midwestern home town. A short-term Christmas fling might be just the thing to put the jingle back in her bells, Rachel decides when she arrives...and the local guy who's had a crush on her since high school looks like an excellent candidate. Original.

"Home for the Holidays is a fun holiday romance--who doesn't love a good love story delivered by Santa? Plumley hits all of the right marks in telling a love story, sharing passion and inspiring us to be our best!" (Four-Rose Read!) --Romance Reader at Heart
When Rachel Porter, the hottest celebrity stylist in Hollywood, catches her current boyfriend sleeping with her best client, she retaliates with a rash, flamboyant move that sabotages her own career and sends her home to tiny Kismet, MI, to lick her wounds and wait until things blow over in Beverly Hills. However, she doesn't count on reconnecting with former NFL star Reno Wright, and she definitely doesn't plan on falling for him, something of a problem since Reno is on a reluctant mission to match her up with his best friend. A delightful secondary romance adds to the fun in this upbeat romp that is touching, hilarious, and lightly dusted with seasonal charm. Plumley lives in Chandler, AZ. --Kristin Ramsdell, Library Journal

California Christmas,
By IndigoRaiyne (Aiken, SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home For The Holidays (Zebra Contemporary Romance) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book but not as much as I had hoped. It is the story of Rachel Porter and Reno Wright. But also the story of Reno's sister Angela and his best friend Nate. To be honest, I liked the Nate/Angela storyline much better than the Reno/Rachel one. Mostly because I liked Nate and Angela and felt they had more chemistry than Reno and Rachel.
I liked Reno OK, but I never felt like I knew much about him. He was a football player who wanted to please everyone and owned a sporting goods store. That was it. He never seemed to grow or change and while I could see why Rachel would like him, there wasn't a reason for her to not like him either. I was never all that fond of Rachel. While I didn't hate her, I was never really rooting for her either. I thought she was somewhat shallow and I never understood the disdain she felt for Kismet. It was never really explained except to say that she thought California was better. Overall, I liked the book but I probably wouldn't read it again.

Jumps too much : (,

The individual stories were interesting, but the flow was a little rough. It bounced from Reno & Rachel, to Nate & Angela, to Reno's parents. Nice Christmas theme reading. I commend writers who can juggle multiple storylines/characters in 1 book.
4.0 out of 5 stars
